Even if it's true that you would need some cells from a cow to get started, there's no reason you have to kill that cow or treat it inhumanely.

- adamnemecek 10y agoThey aren't like normal cells. IIRC you have to abort a late stage fetus to obtain them.
- hx87 10y agoThat shouldn't be a problem once we make sufficient progress in creating and growing iPSCs.
- newscracker 10y agoPlease see my other comment about SuperMeat. Ventures like those don't need fetuses, don't need to kill an animal or don't even need an animal to suffer to get started. It sounds like fantasy, but we will get to these while at the same time companies are innovating by making plant based "meat" realistic, tasty and closer to the price of meat.
